\nExperiences shared by others\n<\/h3>
\n

This is where the experiences shared by those who are happy to share them with us will be collected. Would you like to try it too? Or do you already have an experience you would like to share? Please complete this questionnaire<\/a>.<\/p>

My first attempts at sharing the method with others immediately led to interesting results, two of them in fact. People I know reported the same thing: after I had told them my story they said they were keen to try it but none of them actually did. Instead of starting conditioning at home, they simply stopped using the symptomatic medications they had been using for allergies for years. According to my latest information they have not needed them since and are doing well. One of them said they thought it was all in the mind.<\/p>

I do not yet know how to explains this, but to me it suggests that there are probably many good paths. I hope we will soon know more as people share their experiences...<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>

\nSimilar studies\n<\/h3>
\n

Most of the studies below are about conditioned placebo; where this is not the case, I have indicated it. For the sake of completeness, I have also included articles in which researchers used a conditioned placebo setup but were not able to demonstrate its effectiveness.<\/p>\n<\/div>
